If Fitzpatrick wins the Superbowl will he now move ahead of Jim Kelly as an Icon in Buffalo? I think it's a tough call. Jim Kelly is pretty much engrained here as an Icon. He has stuck around the area and has been a supporter of the team both outwardly and behind the scenes. Does winning a Superbowl vault Fitz past Jim Kelly?

Backups don't get paid $10 million per year either. So obviously the fooball people think he's capable of winning with this team or they wouldn't have paid him.

I don't think The Patriots will be sending out 5 recievers against our four man wrecking crew. They have to double team.If they send out 5 , that leaves 5 to block those four on the line. Won't happen.Brady might end up in one of those Buffalo hospitals he hates so much. wait...that was hotels..but anyway, if our corners are good enough to play tight one on one coverage, it will be a long day for Brady

Yes , what a surprise he cut Maybin

Yes he's had injury problems, but he just turned 28. So if he can stay healthy, he may have an upside Good post

My point was only to show how tough the Bills defense could be. I know it wasn't a direct answer to the thread's topic. Sorry, can't help it if this defense has me a bit psyched

I called anyway, asked why do new customers get the Sunday ticket for free and when does my contract expire. He said because I was a loyal custumer who paid on time always...I would be eligible for some discounts. I got the Sunday ticket for free for 2012 and a $30 discount on my bill for 12 months. Overall a $560 savings for the year. Not bad for a 15 minute call. Thanks cmjoyce113 for starting this thread.

Fainting is not funny, but I found it amusing that the interviewer just kept on talking as if nothing was wrong. Didn't even walk over to Bruce.

I see alot of responses with short passing being the answer. If The Bills can generate an effective pass rush with only 4 lineman rushing, then the short game can be neutralized with physical, in your face cornerback play and linebackers taking away the short passing lanes. As the Giants have showed, when a team can use only 4 lineman and can get to the quarterback or pressure him consistently, they are a very dificult defense to move the ball on. I think The Bills have this potential. Teams would have to keep the tightend in to help block and possibly a running back also.THis reduces the amount of weapons an offense can use. Really, any team that can consistently pressure the quarterback without sending extra rushers, is at a huge advantage over the offense.

I don't think it's a sure thing Moorman makes the team this year.

If Merriman is 80-90 percent of the player he was, it would be an upgrade for the Bills. Imagine if Merriman returned to the form he once had. This defense would be scary. In reality though, I'm skeptical that he can remain injury free or can recover enough to be a solid , consistent player. I hope he proves me wrong. It would be fun to watch if he does.

By "go bills" do you mean you hope they move to LA?

Johnny Cash said it best..."A Boy Named Suh"

Actually the real xfactor this year..Fitz..the team will go as he goes. The defense is in place, so it's on Fitz to make it happen.

Why not also make a poll of how big the Bills margin of victory will be in the superbowl

I'm sure the Pats would have loved to have him back but they will not overpay as the Bills did. The Bills overpaid to get a quality player.I think they have to at this point to get players to come here. The Pats put a value on their players and will not pay past that amount. It's the way they operate. They move on. I suppose when you have Brady, you have more room to run your team that way.

did you mean aberration,not abomination?

I find it funny how you are so quick to blame Polancarz and the democrats for the predicted budget shortfall and the possibility of a tax increase as a result. The biggest issue that has caused this budget shortfall is the deal Chris Colins made with ECMC, declaring "we are out of the hospital business". The County is now responsible to pay the hospital for any shorfall they incur. This Has resulted in an amount far exceeding the amount budgeted for any such shorfall. If Erie County was out of the hospital business as Chris Collins bragged about, the taxpayers wouldn't be in this mess. To blame the guy who just walked into office and inherited this mess is irresponsible.

Can't remember what section, but was lower bowl , 45 yard line with wife, brother and friends. We all wanted to leave at halftime, except my stubborn wife refused to leave. So we stayed and enjoyed the ride of our lives.I still have this game on videotape. A friend in Syracuse taped it. So glad my wife was stubborn. I could barely talk the next day.Great memory.

For some reason the Bills have been notorious for signing their first round picks after almost everyone else. Not sure why.

There are people who are not very confident in Fitz on this board and there are people who think he is good enough to lead this team back to an elite level. There is no point worrying about it and arguing about it. he will we our Qb this year. Fitz will be the one who makes it clear this year if he's capable of being a great Qb or not. If he falters this year, it's time to look for the next starter. If he shows he can do the job and take the team to the next level, we should all be very happy. Barring injury, it's all on Fitz.

I too grew up during the Dolphin era and was at the game when the Bills finally beat them . It was fun watching the goal posts come down. My hatred for the fish have subsided since then, We owned them during our superbowl runs. I hate the patriots more than any team right now. The whole Billacheat thing and Brady's arrogance makes me loathe that franchise.

I have all the afc championship games on vhs tapes. I really need to get them converted to dvd. I was at all the championship games also
